E&I tour hits Uniondale - All discussions

This was my first show from the beginning, since I am trying to avoid stuff while waiting for Europe.

IMHO...
Electric Co. was really great but as far as SOE is concerned Little Things really should be in there... GOOYOW is not great and even Blackout did not do much for me.
The whole thing seems a bit lop-sided & they are missing much of the great stuff from SOE as well as classics...like Streets.

This is just the warm up luckily !

What do you mean warm-up? With any U2 tour they tend to cut songs from the album being toured as the it moves along

As I mentioned last night the particular version they’re playing has grown on me with every listen and it’s great to hear it’s sounding great to people who have actually attended already. It’s going to be one of the highlights for me.

You know I was very disappointed with the version they chose to play and the placement. But it’s really strong when you’re there. Plus again, with everyone phones lighting up the arena , it just works. I’m def looking forward to msg. I am hoping for at least 2 diff songs though. Any songs.

Originally posted by EDDMB:Best Thing acoustic was a snooze fest . They lost the crowd at this point . Full band version should be played . The crowd went nuts for IWF and Electric Co , if NYD and Gloria would have followed they would have torn the roof off .
Bad should without question be played (along with NYD) each and every night over the tired and played out Elevation . If Vertigo needs to be played I feel it would work better in set 1 , as it did in 2015 .
Desire I thought would be better . A shame Wild Horses is gone .
Acrobat was my highlight along with Electric Co and IMO Exit would work great right after Acrobat with Bono staying in character.
I understand why the band aren’t playing JT , but WOWY would be great ending the show , if not play All I Want Is You .
Overall very good show , but if the band aren’t going to play JT , (and they aren’t) then some other classic tunes like Bad NYD Gloria and All I Want Is You need to be in there . Every night .
The crowd was literally stunned when the show ended after 13 . I have been attending shows since 1981 when I saw the Ramones , and I don’t remember ever seeing a reaction quite like that , of stunned disbelief , that the show was indeed over .
7/10

Great read, thanks for that! Loved your suggestion about adding Exit, its not as if that's a song they'd have seen as overplayed. I wouldn't mind SFS as an acoustic if they'd go back to the full band SBS - I never liked this low tempo version.

I must be the only one who liked 13 as the closer - fit with the whole theme of the show. Maybe it was more obvious in Montreal as he told the crowd he'd send us home with a lullaby (or something like that).
